CIVIL WAR Antique U.S. M1860 SPENCER SADDLE RING CAVALRY CARBINE Frontier
US Ordnance Cartouched
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique U.S. M1860 SPENCER SADDLE RING CAVALRY CARBINE Frontier US Ordnance Cartouched Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1860 Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Army Model Saddle Ring Carbine, made circa 1863-1865 in Boston, Massachusetts, during the Civil War. The Spencer is a lever-action repeating rifle designed by Christopher Spencer in 1860, leading some to refer to this example as the “Model 1860”. These lever-operated, breech-loading rifles were marvels of the time and had a lasting impact on how war was to be fought in the future. Production ceased in 1869 as Christopher Spencer’s company went bankrupt. It’s a wonder these rifles have survived so long in such great condition. Though their service life in the U.S. military was relatively short, the Spencer story includes Christopher Spencer, the inventor of the rifle, demonstrating and shooting with President Abraham Lincoln, who gave his full endorsement of the piece. Supposedly, during the battle at Gettysburg, a captured Rebel that day said one could “load in the morning and fire all day!” This was due to the Spencer’s most endearing quality: a 7-round magazine tube in the butt of the gun. This gave the shooter phenomenal firepower in a day when most soldiers were muzzle-loading single shots or even singly loading their breech-loading carbines. This is one of the iconic carbines of the Civil War and Western Frontier. This is the type of Spencer that was used by Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood in the movie “Unforgiven”. Many a buffalo were taken off the plains during westward expansion by the Spencer rifle. The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright bore. The finish has settled into a gray patina. Markings are worn. Solid stock. This example has partial cartouches stamped on left stock wrist. A this grain split is on the left buttstock. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 22 inches. Caliber: .52 Spencer Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $3400 #247179 Antique: Yes Price: $3,400.00 Buy Now Pay with
